** Description changed:

  [I'm a software eng but not an ubuntu admin/expert]
  
  Over the last few weeks, the computer has crashed suddenly about 10 times by jumping into console mode, displaying a stack-trace and not responding to anything.
  See the few screen photos I have captured for 5 of those crashes: https://plus.google.com/photos/105540241924141497089/albums/5866912783964877793?authkey=CJHamI7B1LH7NQ
  (Sorry for the low quality of some of the photos, 4 of them are easily readable, I can try to post-process the 5th to make it more readable if needed)
  
  Also about another 10+ times, the computer has slowed down suddenly and
  incredibly for a few seconds (up to a minute) and then suddenly turned
  off by itself in an instant (not actually shutting down).
  
  This has been happening more often when being on G+ hangouts (video
  conference) or watching a video (amazon video) than while doing other
  operations but it has also happened while simply browsing the net on
  sites which do neither sound nor video.
  
  Note that I have dual-boot Win7 + Ubuntu 12.04 and while I am not using
  Windows much, I did use it a few times (video watching and browsing) and
  have not hit any issues.
  
  I have run the ubuntu grub loader memtest last night. 7 full runs, all
  passes.
  
- Let me know what information you need.

- Side note:
- Before filing this bug, I ran "ubuntu-bug linux" from the command line, it gathered some information, I then clicked send and it seemed to send it. It then opened this window in which I logged in and then filled this information for this bug. As such, I am assuming some information has been attached to this bug already even though I do not see it here.
